Alumni Association


HAA Alumni Community

The Harvard Alumni Association hosts the alumni community portal, through which you can create a profile and access all the services provided by HAA. To create an alumni community account you first need to create a Harvard Key.

Connecting Alumni

Email Forwarding

HAA offers an email forwarding service. In the past, these addresses ended with @post.harvard.edu, but addresses currently being issued end in @alumni.harvard.edu. It's possible to convert a @post.harvard.edu to an @alumni.harvard.edu address, but not the reverse.

Email Preferences

Set your email preferences to specify what email you want to receive from Harvard College, the HAA, Harvard Magazine, and/or any Harvard graduate schools you attended.

Alumni Directory

You can search the HAA alumni directory and bookmark contacts you might search for again in the future. If you're trying to get in touch with someone, you can send them an email through a web form.

Class Notes

Class notes, published in Harvard Magazine, used to be the primary way classes would share updates about life events and accomplishments over the years. With the advent of email and social media, use of class notes has declined. You can post and search class notes through the HAA Alumni Community, or also through Harvard Magazine, however there have been only a few notes since 2015.

Message Boards

Post to fellow alumni around topics of interest on the message board. Most posts are related to jobs or housing, but you can post on any topic.

Harvard Stories

HAA posts stories about alumni or of interest to Alumni.

Alumni Offers

Harvard Alumni World MasterCard

The Harvard Alumni Card is issued by the Harvard University Employees Credit Union (HUECU). Designed exclusively for Harvard alumni, the Harvard Alumni Card offers cash back and travel rewards, plus no annual or foreign transaction fees. In turn, revenue from the card supports financial aid.

Both membership in the HUECU and the Harvard Alumni Card are free for alumni. One unique benefit of the card is that's it's one of the few chip and PIN cards without an annual fee (most US cards are chip and signature). This is usually not important in the United States, but may be very helpful if you travel internationally and want to complete transactions at kiosks which offer no signature option. The card also changes no foreign transaction fee.

Lenovo PC Purchase Program

Alumni are eligible to purchase Lenovo PCs and ThinkPad laptops at a discount.
